First, this article needs a (2009) tag on the end of it, it's an old article.<p>Second, from the article: "Someone admitted to using Google Earth for a theft." This line is used to support the idea that Google is "Evil".<p>Theft is on the thief and any number of things can be used in a crime (car, tools, etc). Google Maps and Google Earth have vast utility beyond use in crime so I don't see the author's point holding up to scrutiny.
